Yami no Matsuei: Fire and Shadows: Devastation

Elizabeth Wilde

One of very few fics I've read in the 'verse since I'm pretty new to it; just started buying the DVDs. That story was... beautiful. That's the only way I can think to describe it. Sad and hot but more than that haunting. Now I have to go see what else you've written. The FF8 piccies up there make me think I'll find more lovely things...

bestbits: The descriptions; even small things, sensory tidbits... it was all very real while still retaining the beauty of surreality.

First I want to thank you for writing about Tat+Tsu, to me taking their relationship to this level is natural but not to many people write about them ( why o'why ). The flow of the piece is good. I thought the setting was very interesting, and I could imagine the despair Tsuzuki would be feeling. And yes this is a great lemon, very erotic but sad which makes it even more sensual for some reason. I was surprised at the way Tsuzuki was acting, not exactly OOC but a different side to him for sure (being experienced, having other lovers). Sometimes I get tired of Tsuzuki always being portrayed as just ultra sweet and innocent. In this fic Tsuzuki is kind of selfish and self centered or clueless maybe. Maybe he realizes this the morning after. Tatsumi was in a lot of pain in this fic (i notice ppl like to do that to him) and I was not surprised at his departure but I think if Tsuzuzuki had not distanced himself after they made love things would have been different (asking h!
im if he was going back to his room, that was pretty cold) That's my perception anyway. What stands out about their relationship are the misunderstandings that continue to get in the way. The fact that they don't talk very much about their feelings for one another permeates the story, which is very in character for them both. I enjoyed this story a lot so please keep writing about them ( and keep writing in general ). Velda

lovely...so sad and so lovely. i cried when tsuzuki was trying to express to hisoka the horror of that day...the way you wrote it...you could feel that the pain and grief were so deep for tsuzuki that they could barely be touched with words. i enjoyed the the way the characters were so gentle with each other...careful of each other's pain...and the ways they were able to comfort each other...and always that sense of sadness and grief pervading everything, even the grass and the trees. thank you for this story.
